Andrés Duany Spanks British Architecture

The apostle of New Urbanism and designer of Seaside, Florida (and, not incidentally, an ally of the famously retro Prince Charles) “flew in from America and yesterday unveiled a 64-point litany of mistakes made by British architects and planners over the last 50 years. He accused architects of being ‘infantile’ in pursuing ego-driven visions and said they were ‘heedless of technical and social dysfunction and widespread lack of popularity’ caused by their designs.”
